Social media has become the number one way that artists promote their work. Because the internet is so impersonal, however, it is hard to gain dedicated fans through posting to Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. Instead of finding loyal, supportive listeners, artists now focus on virality and view numbers, ultimately leading to fleeting success and a short-lived career. The hardest part about sustaining a career in music is getting that core group of fans that support you no matter what the circumstances. Many artists rely on word of mouth and social media to widen their scope, but the chances of those strategies actually creating a solid fan base are slim. Playing for an intimate, live audience is the best way to make people fall in love with an artist’s music. It’s easy to set up a live show with a backyard and a group of friends, but what many artists need is to bring in new fans to come to their concerts, which is where youbloom comes in.

Artists today need that extra boost to attract fans to play live shows and establish themselves in their local music scene and beyond. youbloom takes advantage of the local network of music lovers and creates a community of Artists, Fans, Hosts, and Show Creators to put together intimate live shows and benefit growing artists. youbloom gives fans a way to request artists to play in their city and this data is visible by youbloom Show Creators giving them the confidence to look artists in their shows.

Fans can sign up with youbloom for the purpose of finding new music, so they come to shows eager to listen and love the artist that they’re seeing. With an array of excited fans and a venue provided by hosts, youbloom Show Creators puts together the perfect opportunity for new artists to perform live and gain dedicated fans.

Live music is an integral part of any community. It is one of the best ways to bring people together and youbloom Show Creators helps make that happen. They take a house show, backyard concert or traditional show, one step further by organizing and promoting the event to the greater community. They are still intimate concerts, but they give the artists a chance to reach a wider audience through youbloom’s network of Fans, Artists, Hosts, and Show Creators. Sign up with youbloom today and perform for your fans–old and new!

If you’re a fan of music and are thinking about starting a career in the live music industry, youbloom is the perfect place for you. With youbloom’s CityRep program, you’ll be given the tools to start planning live shows in your city today! Part of what separates youbloom from its competition is that there are no binding contracts, and as a CityRep, you have the freedom to set up live shows with emerging artists at small venues of your choosing.

How youbloom fans can find and support new artists through live music experiences.

In this age, discovering new music has become as simple as opening a music streaming service, or scrolling on a social media app. It seems like the perfect situation for music lovers to discover new, indie artists. However, the problem with these platforms is that their algorithms 

primarily promote artists backed by money. These streaming and social media platforms put up a facade of indie, up-and-coming artists featured on their home pages. These artists are often nothing more than corporate creations made with the sole purpose of encouraging streams and revenue for their parent label. Indie music lovers want to find new artists who are actually independent and youbloom has the resources for them to do exactly that.

With the fractions of a cent paid to an artist per stream, online music listening can only get them so far, especially when streaming platforms are promoting label-backed artists over indie. New artists really gain fans from playing live shows. The best way to find new indie music is to find local shows, but that can be difficult without a platform that organizes and promotes these intimate concerts. youbloom does exactly that–it helps make live music opportunities more accessible for both the artists and fans. It creates a platform for fans to bring artists to their city to play live shows at venues from bars to clothing stores to backyards. youbloom provides the perfect opportunity for these fans to come to cheap, intimate shows and discover their next favorite artist. Even more, fans can request artists to perform with youbloom, helping support their favorite up-and-coming musicians and be able to see them live.

Live music is the best way to support indie artists. youbloom helps music lovers find these live experiences and gives them the opportunity to discover new artists and bring them to their city to perform for them. Sign up with youbloom today to get started and find a world of new music.

Become a CityRep with youbloom and help promote indie and up-and-coming artists’ live shows

The COVID-19 pandemic put a damper on live music, setting back small-scale indie artists and prohibiting music lovers from supporting these artists. One asset to emerge from social distancing, however, was house shows. Without commercially available concerts, artists turned to their own community to host intimate performances for their friends and family. While they would only play for 10 to 20 people, the experience of performing live brought great opportunities for growth in popularity and skill.

youbloom stands upon this philosophy that by working with the community to put on intimate live concerts, it opens a door for artists and their careers without the aid of bigger promoters and bookers. While online music streaming and social media may help fans find artists they like, many still seek out live music experiences to discover and engage with their favorite artists. youbloom provides a platform for indie artists to find gigs and fans to attend live shows.

Fans may be able to discover their new favorite artists from youbloom’s live shows, but who is going to find the artists to play these shows? This is where you come in. As a CityRep, you can utilize your passion and knowledge of your city’s indie music scene to help produce and promote live shows. You can recruit artists from your area, whether they be a friend of yours who plays in a band or a singer you saw at your local pub, to play with youbloom. You may also find talent through the database of artists who have applied through youbloom’s website. Not only is being a youbloom CityRep a great opportunity to support artists and fans in your city, but it can also give you professional connections and help you enter into the music industry. You can give artists a new audience and therefore a greater platform to grow off of, all the while flexing your concert-organizing and promotional skills.
